Call Waiting?

Sunday drivers are TERRIBLE. Seriously. But back to the point of this post. Today is Mother's Day, so while I was pricing books in the basement of the museum I gave mumsy a call. It turns out that she had been on the phone with Chrissy when I called, but switched over to me when I beeped in. Apparently that's all that mom knows how to do with her cell phone. She can't switch back to someone once she's switched over. According to mom she was first on the phone with her friend Lynn, then Chrissy beeped in and mom switched to her and then I beeped in and mom switched to me. The part that is so annoying is that when mom switches over to someone else the person she was talking to is told 'hold on' as opposed to I'll call you back later. During our conversation I heard the telltale click noise that indicates that the person you are talking to has got someone beeping in on the other line. She gave me the pattented 'hold on' and left me in silence. Now since mom had told me all about her inability to switch back to a caller I hung up. Then I called Chrissy who it turns out was the person who mom had switched over to when I was pushed out of the conversation. So now Chrissy was talking to me and mom was left in silence and as it turns out, Chrissy is also incapable of switching back to someone who is on hold. So then Chrissy and I talked for a little while and mom was left by herself. We're wonderful daughters. Happy Mother's Day.
